PHIL 115 - Wicked Problems (GE)

Credits: (3)

Instructional Method: Three hours lecture.
Explores “wicked” problems—unstructured, multidisciplinary, wide-reaching issues, such as climate change or persistent injustice, that require critical and creative thinking to develop multiple interconnected solutions. Using research, case studies, discussion, innovation, experimentation, and teamwork, we will learn key skills for defining, unpacking, and proposing solutions for major social and environmental problems, and will apply our skills locally on a service project. This course uses an experiential education approach that requires our best thinking and collective action.
